Fat To Fit Blog XXXV: Lessons

After yesterday I feel like I could share some lessons about dieting/lifestyle change to prevent hiccups or being sick in my case.

1. Do not drink excessive amounts of tea and coffee, it will not end well. The caffiene keeps you going but it's not real energy!
2. Following feeling sick and thinking its hunger do not wolf down your dinner in less than 5 minutes and barely chew your food.
3. Do not think peppermint tea will help the situation if nausea has already kicked in!


What I have learned is my body has changed, I can not wolf down a huge meal quickly like I used to. I used to eat a whole pasta bake to myself in about 10 minutes and I'm not that person anymore. My stomach has got used to smaller meals and taking longer to eat.

It's a good tip (for everyone) to chew your food for as long as possible, it makes you feel fuller quicker and aids digestion. Take time to appreciate your food, I've been thinking lately its just energy but it needs to be enjoyed. What's your body gonna do with a piece of unchewed belly pork? stomach acid is strong but not that strong!

So even 3 months in I still make mistakes and I want people to know it's ok to screw up whether its overeating, eating the wrong food or missing the gym because you feel lazy, we're all human and it's ok :)

I've also decided I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow, as an almost 13 week weigh in to see what weight I've reached before the holiday :) I might not have lost anything since monday but I want to know what I am before I go away as it'll be awhile before I'll be near a set of scales.

See you tomorrow for an update xo
